Beauty Man's Myriad Hearts

boom!

The snowman slammed the door again and ran away in a hurry.

Looking back, he didn't know whether his decision to become the deputy director of the Supernatural Investigation and Defense Bureau was correct or not.

At least he understood that his current pressure was greater than the joy of being the deputy director.

If I knew that I would face almost the same or even more exaggerated troubles as the previous high-level executives when I first took the position, I should have stopped my inflated ambitions at that time.

Johnny Blazer had long signed a contract with the devil. Thinking of this, Snowman's scalp felt numb, and ants seemed to be crawling all over his body.

David didn't care much.

Although Johnny Blazer signed a contract with Mephisto in the early years, this guy has a weird personality that does not eat hard and soft. Under normal circumstances, he would not choose to cooperate with Mephisto to mess with himself.

Of course, David asked the Snowman to keep an eye on Johnny Blazer, just to guard against the unconventional situation.

After all, David has not figured out until now what kind of means Mephisto will use to win him over, and what is the "great temptation" described by the system?

While thinking.

Sudden.

Ring ring ring ring!

The phone rang in my ear, and the caller showed that it was my brother Wilson, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

As soon as the connection was made, Wilson became anxious and said in a deep voice:

"David, something happened!"

"?"

David frowned, and his heart sank.

Wilson is not a person who likes to ask others for help, even if this "other person" is his own brother.

Being able to hear this sentence from Wilson's mouth shows that the situation has developed to the point where it is out of control.

"What happened..."

Before David could finish his sentence, Wilson's next words immediately made his face darken, and the surging anger swept through his inner world like a shock wave formed after an explosion.

At the same time, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he finally understood the meaning of the huge temptation Mephisto used to win him over in the system description.

——"Mother is sick!"

……

two hours later.

new York.

It took David a short two hours to take off from Washington, D.C. by private plane and rush to the Presbyterian Hospital in New York after getting off the plane.

Wilson waited for David's arrival in front of the VIP ward.

"what happened?"

On the phone, Wilson simply explained his mother's condition. After David arrived at the scene, with his special ability, he could clearly feel the weak breathing of his mother Marlene. His face was almost gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "You How did you find out?"

"This morning, I suddenly received a call from my mother saying that something was wrong with her."

Wilson spoke casually, with no expression on his face, but people who knew him knew very well that this was a sign of Wilson's inner depression and his almost uncontrollable expression: "When I rushed over, I saw her falling. on the ground."

At this time, the few people who followed Wilson here, the driver and the assistant, were all silent and breathed low, for fear of causing Wilson's dissatisfaction and attention.

"Calm down."

David took a deep breath and said slowly, "I'll take care of this."

"Fiske Pharmaceuticals has the most professional medical research team, and the Presbyterian Hospital also has the most professional doctors."

"She'll be fine," he assured.

"I believe you."

Wilson nodded, turned and left without saying another word.

This is the tacit understanding between him and David.

David watched Wilson leave and did not enter the ward. Instead, he looked at the sleeping old lady through the small window on the door, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"David, you're here."

At this time, a familiar voice sounded beside my ears.

The person who came was Morbius' girlfriend, Martina, a doctor at the Presbyterian Hospital.

"The patient's physical condition is very bad now, but according to the physical examination results provided by you, her condition should not develop so quickly, which is very strange."

From the perspective of a doctor, Martina spoke bluntly and explained the risks: "If the current condition develops, the patient's survival period will not exceed three months, and it may even be shorter."

"understood."

David nodded calmly.

Hearing such an answer, Martina opened her mouth, intending to say something more, but finally sighed slightly, turned and left, leaving David a quiet space.

After Wesley came here with Connors, as soon as he reached the end of the corridor, he saw David standing in the middle of the corridor in front of the door of the ward.

All the people who passed by quickly moved away, not daring to approach.

Wesley paused.

"Wait a minute and leave him alone."

He stopped Connors who was following him.

Seeing this, Connors nodded silently.

"Mephisto..."

At the same time, David took a deep breath, his eyes burning with rage.

He is very familiar with the operation in front of him.

Using the family member's illness as an excuse to lure the parties to sign a contract at the cost of the parties' souls.

Johnny Blazer was bewitched by Mephisto in this way, and sold his soul to Mephisto-after death, the soul cannot ascend to heaven, but has to go to hell and become Mephisto's plaything.

The devil who likes to play with people's hearts, but after curing Johnny's father's cancer, he let Johnny's father die in an accident the next day.

As a result, Johnny realized that the contract he signed with the devil was of no use at all.

This is the real reason why he and Mephisto fell out.

In the second part of Ghost Rider, Johnny paid a heavy price in order to wash off the contract he signed with the devil.

Everything he encountered at this time was so similar to Johnny's situation at that time.

Although there is no evidence, David can conclude that his mother's terminal illness must have been written by Mephisto.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for mother Marlene's body transformed by body optimization technology to have such a severe and sudden lesion.

Thoughts flashed.

He waved to Connors at the end of the corridor.

"David, don't worry, although we currently have no way to cure cancer and clear cancer cells, we can use the best treatment to help your mother prolong her survival until a solution is found."

Conners stepped forward anxiously.

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help explaining: "Before I came here, I re-checked the medical examination records of your mother when she was working on a project in the company last time. There is absolutely no problem, and the genetic optimization effect is also very good. It is unexpected that such a situation will happen. Not in time..."

"No need to explain."

David glanced at Connors. The latter almost knew David's true face in his heart, and knew what kind of person David was. If he blamed himself at this time, he would not even be able to run away if he wanted to.

Fortunately, David just waved his hand: "I know this has nothing to do with your work attitude."

"Find someone to come over to examine my mother. Any means must be used, and nothing will happen to her."

After the words were finished, David pushed open the door, walked into the room, sat on the stool beside the hospital bed, watched his mother Marlene frown slightly while she was sleeping, and secretly clenched his fists.

"Mephisto, play this game with me!"

David took a deep breath.

outside the ward.

Connors breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head and gave Wesley a look, and then left.

Wesley stayed outside the ward and waited for David.

soon.

Night falls.

When David came to the rooftop, his mood was still low. Looking at the neon lights flickering in the high-rise New York, the familiar night scene could no longer stir his heartstrings.

Various black technologies that appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe flashed through my mind, but I couldn't find a way to cure my mother Marlene even after searching, and I felt a little anxious for a while.

Although he assured Wilson that his mother, Marlene, would be fine, in fact, it was difficult for David to say that he could really cure cancer.

Many strange diseases have appeared in the Marvel world. Various genetic diseases and special diseases, just like the common cold, will eventually lead to the path of being cured by the plot.

The only exception is cancer.

The female Thor in Thor 4, that is, Thor's girlfriend, Jane Foster, also eventually died of cancer.

To a certain extent, cancer is the key element used to kill the plot characters.

The character David remembers most deeply, and the only character who was cured of cancer, is the most famous anti-hero - Deadpool.

But in the universe he is currently in, there is no such thing as Deadpool.

Without Deadpool, it means that cells or genes in Deadpool cannot be extracted for research on curing cancer.

This means that the mother Marlene, who is currently lying on the hospital bed, is almost at a dead end.

Thinking of this, David hated the culprit even more.

all of a sudden.

A dark cloud floated in the sky to cover the moonlight. Even though the neon lights in New York were enough to turn the whole city into a city that never sleeps, David still clearly captured that the surrounding light had become so dim.

Immediately afterwards, a person who should not have appeared suddenly pushed open the roof door and appeared behind him.

This person was holding a broom as a crutch in his hand. He had pale temples and was not young. He was wearing the clothes of a hospital cleaner. When he arrived at the rooftop, the spotlights beside the wall of the rooftop were crackling with orange-red sparks, as if the circuit had short-circuited.

David narrowed his eyes.

He has always been confident in the radar perception ability he has mastered, but the appearance of this man actually looks like a ghost floating in the void, which did not disturb his perception at all, which is extremely abnormal.

His eyes were locked on the old man in the clothes of the cleaning staff, and he knew the identity of this person.

"David Fisk, Batman, I am your fan and appreciate your..."

The old man's tone was low, seemingly magical, and extremely attractive: "Every move."

"Every move?"

David frowned.

Not "what you do", but "every action".

He heard the threat from the old man in front of him.

"I don't have such a big fan like you."

David's face was indifferent, he paused, and revealed his identity in one sentence: "Mephisto."

"Hahahahaha."

Mephisto laughed, not surprised at all: "You really know it's me."

"Ever since you sent someone to keep an eye on Johnny Blazer and called him to Washington for a show in the name of the Arms Expo, I knew you were fully aware of my presence."

Mephisto said with great interest: "It stands to reason that there are very few people in this world who can perceive me. Can you tell me how to do it?"

"There are very few, but it doesn't mean there are none."

After David saw this famous hell lord, the anger that swelled in his heart made him calm down, and said: "After all, the hell dimension can never really invade the earth, can it?"

"Hehe, your point of view is very interesting."

Mephisto shrugged, nonchalantly: "How do you know if you don't try?"

"Some things can work if you try, then you won't keep failing."

David was blunt, sarcastically saying, "Shall I count my 'great feats' for you?"

"..."

Mephisto received the cue, stared at the man in front of him, and instantly elongated his face. The original smile disappeared unabated and was replaced by a touch of sternness.

"Looks like you already know."

A moment later, he spoke quietly, with a deep chill hidden in his words.

What David said just now undoubtedly refers to the conventional practices of Mephisto back then.

Including but not limited to the operation when luring Johnny Blazer to sign a contract.

Combined with the current illness of David's mother, Marlene, the truth is clear at a glance. Even though Mephisto is eloquent, he is blocked by the facts and has no room for excuse.

"I don't know everything, I know everything."

In front of the hell lords who are relatively well-known in the multiverse, David doesn't mind being a little arrogant.

Anyway, Mephisto's power is very limited on Earth.

His son, Witch Heart Demon, can lead several other demons to travel across dimensions to the earth because of his weakness.

And Mephisto couldn't really come to the earth, so that his power on the earth is meager, precisely because he is too strong.

During the period when the supreme mage Gu Yi was guarding the earth, she was used as a sieve to filter the invasion of the multiverse, and she never missed or missed any character from other dimensions.

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

Mephisto sighed, and his figure gradually became unreal.

boom!

David flickered.

The moment Mephisto pulled away, a pair of fleshy wings suddenly spread out from behind, and he instantly moved in front of this guy. He put his five fingers together and turned his palm into a knife, intending to pierce the opponent's chest and crush the human body he possessed.

Suddenly, his palm stopped about half a finger away from the old man's chest.

Whoosh!

A strong gust of wind passed by, blowing the old man's pale temples.

"You, what are you going to do?"

There was panic in the old man's eyes. Looking at the wings spread out behind David, the panic on his face was visible to the naked eye: "Who are you? A monster! There is a monster—"

With that said, he threw the broom that was used as a walking stick at David, and fled staggeringly from the rooftop.

Running and shouting.

"Monsters—there are monsters—"

David's radar perception showed the location of the old man, who belonged to the hospital cleaner.

Capture the figure of the old man running faster and faster.

David exhaled lightly, knowing that Mephisto had already retreated, and killing the old man would not help.

This human body has been abandoned by Mephisto.

"Just wait, I'll find you!"

David muttered, lowering his head slightly, hiding the strong killing intent in his eyes, and holding back his strength in his chest.
